This Week in Ford Racing: Alison MacLeod

Dearborn, Mich. — Alison MacLeod, driver of the East Enterprises No. 6 Ford Racing Technology/Beast Chassis, is the winningest female driver in the USAC history. She currently is second in the USAC Regional Midget series point standings and has won the last two events in which she has raced.

ALISON MACLEOD— DRIVER EAST ENTERPRISES NO. 6 FORD RACING TECHNOLOGY/BEAST CHASSIS BEASTCAN YOU GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF YOUR SEASON SO FAR?“So far this year we’ve had five or six races and we’ve started off pretty well. We started with a fourth and then we ended up with a third, a second and then we got two wins, so we’re hoping to keep that at the winning point and hopefully go on from there. We’ve improved every race and it’s been a good season so far.”

YOU’RE ON A HOT STREAK. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO CONTINUE THAT HOT STREAK FOR THE SEASON?“It’s always tough when you constantly go to different tracks but you just have to nail everything, it takes a lot of luck. We’ve been pretty lucky the last few races to have a lot of things fallen right into our hands, and that’s what it’s going to take for anybody to win a race. For us to win the race we’ve just got to keep it up and get our qualifying, get the car handling well, get the engine running well and have a little bit of luck.”

YOU HAVE THE RACE THIS FRIDAY AT ANDERSON SPEEDWAY, AND SO FAR THIS SEASON YOU’VE FINISHED FOURTH AND SECOND AT THAT TRACK. WHAT’S THE KEY TO GETTING A WIN THERE THIS WEEKEND?“At Anderson it’s a tough track since it’s all momentum, so all the cars are really close together. It’s going to come down to qualifying, getting a little bit of luck with the inversion and just getting the handling down pat and getting it there. We were so close this last time, we just got hurt a little bit on the start and that’s what kept us from the win, but hopefully we’ll go back this time and have a little bit of better luck on the starts.”
